Best Trip Ever! Beyond Expectations!
Erasto was the finest, most knowledgeable guide we could have wanted. He took us places and showed us things that were far beyond our expectations. Everyday was an adventure and never were we disappointed. I was in awe of his skills and always felt 100% safe with him. He could spot a lion on a ridge from afar or sense where the best places to view wildlife was. Our trip with Erasto is something that will stay with me forever.

Outstanding
My wife and I have traveled with Erasto (owner, director, and operator of E&H Blessed Safaris) in 2010, 2012, and 2018. We were planning on a month with him in 2020, but Covid struck and we have been waiting for safe tourism to return. We hope to be there again in 2023.
Each of our trips was more spectacular than the one prior, evidenced by the fact that our first safari was 10 days, the second was 18 days, our third was 23 days, and our last was planned for a month.
With Erasto and Abel, our driver and incredible scout, each day was an adventure into the wonderland of Tanzanian wildlife, culture, and beauty. Their knowledge of the flora and fauna is mind boggling, and they love to teach. Erasto pays attention to every detail so that each of our trips went without a single glitch, other than the obligatory occasional flat tire - and he has multiple spares.
The motto of E&H is "Paths less traveled". That is an understatement. We would often travel an entire day and not see another safari group for hours. This is in sharp contrast to the traffic jams of many safari vehicles we would see from a distance crowding to see a single lion while we had already seen multiple prides that very same day. As a serious amateur wildlife photographer, I assure you that limitless photo opportunities are a certainty. I came home with over 9000 unique images from our last trip.
To summarize, traveling with E&H Blessed Safari, Erasto and Abel, is Simply The BEST!!

Amazing Safari Experience with Incredible Guide
We are a family of four with two children (20 year old son ad 11 year old daughter). Erasto was recommended to us by one of my partners and we couldn't have been more happy with our experience. Erasto cared about every aspect of our trip and was willing to adjust the itinerary at times t meet our needs. He is extremely knowledgable about the animals, their habitats and his country. As a Massai warrior he gave us real insight into how that tribe lives which was very interesting. Erasto is extremely well known and often guides were asking him where to go to see the animals. We travel a lot and never like the cookie cutter tour experiences. Erasto really lives by his motto -- the path less travelled and we had some amazing encounters with animals without another person in sight for miles!! Our safari experience was everything we expected it to be and that was in large part to Erasto.

You could not ask for a finer guide - educational, informative, funny, and great with kids.
Erasto presents his country with pride and an infinite amount of knowledge about the wildlife and the culture. My grandchildren were mesmerized by his stories and animal calls. The accommodations were first class and we really felt connected to Africa. He gives a very personal touch to all his trips, and you will carry your experience in your heart forever.

I cannot say enough positive things about E&H and Erasto: the best experience of my lifetime
Erasto and E&H were well prepared, well planned, fluent in my language, helpful, full of interesting information and stories to enhance the safari experience, polite, savvy, sophisticated, kind, skilled and always accommodating, nimble in adjusting to circumstances with the goal of making it better and better, and the best tour operator I've ever had. I'd do another tour with him any time!

Erasto is the best guide EVER. If you plan to go to Africa, Erasto is a MUST.
I think Africa is a special place. When planning our trip, we planned to get the best tour since we live in Mexico, it is very far, and maybe it would be the first and only time to go there. Erasto excelled our expectations by far. He is proud of being a Masai warrior which gives him a superior knowledge of the animals, plants, and places compared to the other guides we met in the hotels. This knowledge was very important when looking for animals, we found all: zebras, elephants, cheetahs, lions, rhinos, hipos, leopards, etc, even a pangolin! He not only showed us the animals, but told us how they lived, what they eat, if they migrate or not, everything. So it was not another zebra and another lion, but learning to understand their behavior. Besides he also knows about plants so we learned about natural repelents, natural sandpaper, etc. Many times in the safaris we went farther away, or to other places just to find whatever we wanted. He made our safaris personalized.
On top of all this he had everything prepared at the several hotels we went. We were always expected, received, and had everything ready for us. He was always ready and planed everything to perfection.
I have recommended Erasto to everyone I know. I want to return some day and I'll surely call him to prepare our trip.
Erasto thanks!! You made a special, unique, and unforgettable journey to me and my family.
Thanks!!!!!!!!

E&H Safaris are really blessed safaris!
We were a small group and had a great time on safari. Erasto is an amazing guide, he showed and teached us a lot about his country and the wildlife. I never made such an impressing experience in my life before. Every wish was fullfilled. We saw a lot of animals during the safari, lions crossed the street beyond us, zebras, buffalos, hippos.... we saw them all! Erasto was very, very busy to fullfill our wishes and was always very careful. We had a wonderful time in Tansania and the reason for it is "Blessed safari"! If I ever come back to Tansania, I would book the safari only with E&H Safaris and nobody else.
Thank you a lot!

An Amazing Safari with H&E Blessed Safaris
It was a great experience to go to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara. The kids really enjoyed the trip. Everything was made possible by H&E Blessed Safari. The services were excellent, far beyond our expectations. All the hotels that were booked for us were excellent in-terms of service delivery and food. The kids were very much exited to see the animals, birds and acacia trees, something they had never seen before. Mr Erasto made the trip more exciting, as he could imitate the sounds of almost all the animals and birds we saw. I can say during that trip Mr Erasto played well four roles (A tour agent, a guide, a teacher and a father etc). He fitted very well in each role. Infact at the end of the trip the kids asked for a quiz. He posed questions, which were answered by the kids implying that the teacher was good. I would conclude by saying that next time I would not hesitate to plan another trip with H&E.
A Truly Unique and Unforgettable Experience!
I could not conceive of a more knowledgable or better guide then our animal whisperer, Erasto and his driver Elisante. They gave us a unique experience that was unparalleled to anything we could have imagined. Aside from seeing lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, baboons, gazelles, hippos and many other incredible wildlife......Erasto took us to places well off the beaten tract, including visiting Bushmen and Maasai and Chaga villages. He drove hours from our scheduled itinerary to insure that we saw the great migration of the wildebeests, who had traveled further west. Erasto speaks fluent English as well as Swahili and his native Maasai. He is well educated and fascinating and we enjoyed many interesting conversations together. The accommodations and food were among the best and though we moved around a lot, we delighted in the hospitality and comfort of each new place. In short, E & H Blessed Safaris goes above and beyond to ensure your safari is memorable, exceptional, exciting, safe and the trip of a lifetime!!
